[Duo2400] Re: Original system on 2400?

[Larry Friedman]

Make sure you install 7.6.1 and not just 7.6.

The US models did ship with 8.0, but they definitely
run 7.6.1 also -- I had mine doing that for a while.
The problem is I can't remember how. I'll dig up my
old boot disks and see if I can figure anything out.

Hi y'all,

a while back I was looking to make a system 7.6.1
boot disk for my
2400 in order to work on floppy disks created by old
systems (1 thru
6) without deblessing them.  In the end I decided I
didn't need to,
but in the process I was told the following:

I have long since
upgraded to MacOS 8.1. I've had no need to look at
anything later. I am
aware that the 2400 was introduced into the Asian
market with MacOS 7.6.1
installed. All my literature and all information I
have found for my North
American 2400 is that MacOS 8.0 is the oldest it
will run on. I have tried
to install MacOS 7.6.1 on my 2400 to no avail; the
installer said no way. I
have tried booting my 2400 to an external drive
with an all-flavor install
of MacOS 7.6.1 also to no avail. I have understood
that the issue is that
only the earliest of 'book 2400s sold in the Asian
market have boot ROMs
that will recognize MacOS 7.6.1. The rest of the
world received 'book 2400s
with newer boot ROMs requiring MacOS 8.0 and newer.
This may well be
mytholgy. I do not know.
Now, according to Apple, the 2400 *does* run 7.6.1
(although my pb
also came with system 8), so what's the deal?
Is there a hardware difference btw the original
Japanese 2400's and
the ones released in the US?  Can the 2400 run on
7.6.1?
Does anyone know?
